1205- Some MD ANG A-10Cs up. A2A is 266.6. One female pilot.

OOPS!! Sorry Mark--didn't see your post before I hit the button

Thought I heard them tell Bay Watch (305.2) that they were going over to Wallops after finishing at PAX. Sounds like at least 3 acft.

1228- Another group of MD ANG A-10Cs off MTN. A2A is 271.4.

1230- Egyptian military Falcon 7X (SU-BTV) looks inbound to Wilmington DE. Departed from St Louis.

ACARS shows CLEAN-22 to KPSM so assume CLEAN-21 just topoff tanker.
Not sure who they are dragging West.

NOTAM published overnight for KLFI Langley AFB:

633 COMMAND POST UHF FREQUENCY 251.25 OTS (out to service) until 759PM local on September 30.

Tank67 · Jul 28, 2023

Someone contacted ZBW31 on UHF about 5 min ago or so. Didn't catch who, but judging by the above comments I did hear an "01" so it must've been SCOTCH.

All showing on ADS-B. I'm picking up comms on 261.000 which I have as a 119FS frequency but don't know if it's related or not.

1330- Tonga 01 (T-38 # 62-3615 7th FS) off DOV (257.875) after some pattern work then working ZDC Snow Hill (236.825) on way back to Langley.

1339- The returning T-38s are chatting on 255.65. Working ZDC Atlantic City (281.45)>ZDC Snow Hill (236.825)

1355- Score 92 (E-2D VX-20 ) working test discrete (313.7)

1334- Just had NASA 817 go right over my house at 1,500 ft, a large DC-8. Heard the noise and looked out the window. He's now doing a 180 turn over Monmouth County, NJ. Looks like he is heading towards NYC. Maybe up the Hudson.

JetWash · Jul 28, 2023

145PM local: A B52 showing callsign 00000000 60-0015 AE5877 is showing en route to the Oshkosh AirVenture at FL220. Their airshow schedule shows its appearance is expected at 315PM eastern at the conclusion of the National Anthem.

Flightaware keeps saying they are going to Trenton KTTN but not positive on that.
NASA 5 is up doing pattern and NASA 520 just launched from Albany.

SCOTCH flight was booming on 255.650 coming back

Thanks for that freq.

Now can track all 3 NASA planes on ADSBX by using NASA filter in callsign box then hit M button for multi track
and click mouse on each one

Your right that DC-8 is flying way low! Dangerous with all those small planes about.

Bearcat15 · Jul 28, 2023

I just heard someone on ZDC 59 Sea Isle (281.450), possibly Tabor 72?

mdmonitor · Jul 28, 2023

1405- Listened on Langley LIve ATC, the SH callsign is STASH.

1410- NJ ANG have been active for approx an hour now... in W-107 and Warren Grove Range. That's probably what you heard on 261.0

Neat trick - I didn't know about that! NASA817 looks to be flying the same exact path as the other day. Wow - altitude 500 feet over Long Island Sound!

I don't know Ron.. Sure sounded like SCOTCH to me!
Course maybe STASH is more appropriate since they are stashing lobsters LOL

Heard him om 236.825 and it sounded like BASH then tuned in LFI on Live ATC and he was clear and STASH was callsign. Heard alot of chat on way down but nothing about lobstas.

In mid-70's I lived in England near RAF Upper Heyford. One day flt of TDY F-111s came in from Western US and I watched as they unloaded an external pod which contained their golf clubs and several case of Coors. At the time, Coors distribution was very limited to a couple of Western states. So, lobstas are not out of the question. All they would have to do is get a couple of styrofoam containers & put the lobstas on dry ice and put the containers in the back seat.

Tech792 · Jul 28, 2023

I heard the T-38 flight on 282.3 and it sounded like SCOTCH. I heard it real clear the 3rd time he said it. Any chance were mixing up two different flights? Or they changed callsign?

freqhopping · Jul 28, 2023

Nobody caught the DOOM91/92 B-52s? They were working offshore of the Carolinas to start then came inland and up to Richmond then headed SE out to AR636 to refuel with LUCKY52 KC-46 out of Raleigh.

Tech792 · Jul 28, 2023

1637- NASA 817 just went over my house again, same path but heading the opposite way, 1,500 ft., nothing heard on 123.175

Mark · Jul 28, 2023

Couple Navy Texans coming up the Maryland Eastern shore from Pensacola via Lynchburg airport.
KATT-71,72.Seem to be dropping down towards NYC area. Nothing on UHF heard here.Must have been on VHF.
